Neighbourhoods
Oyama is a small town with a big heart, there are beach spots all along the isthmus facing south, so park up and find your spot on the lake. There is also a boat launch, community hall (watch out for Oyama Fun Day in June), Oyama general store is just by OKF grill and a great spot to pick up snacks, wine, beer or mail off a postcard.
